PostgreSQL

This module is used to make the connection between Yate and a PostgreSQL database.

When using this module for storing CDRs, also read [call.cdr] section in Register.

Check if module is loaded

Note: Check if module PostGreSql is loaded. It is required to be loaded so that Yate can connect to database.

When Yate starts you can see a list of modules that are loaded. If PostGreSQL does not appear, you must install the devel packages, then reload Yate.

./run -vvvvv -CDo
..........
Loaded module PostgreSQL
.......

Another way to check if module is loaded is from telnet, use command status check if pgsqldb is in the list:

 %%+status                                                             
 ...............
name=pgsqldb,type=database,format=Total|Failed|Errors|AvgExecTime;conns=0,failed=0
............
%%-status

Configuration

pgsqldb.conf

[general]
; This section is special - holds settings common to all connections

; priority: int: Handler priority
;priority=100
 

; Each other section in this file describes a database connection

;[default]
; The section name is used as the database connection name

; autostart: bool: Automatically initiate the connection on startup
;autostart=yes

; timeout: int: Query timeout in milliseconds
;timeout=10000

; retry: int: How many times to retry the connection or query
;retry=5

; encoding: string: Character set encoding used to communicate with the server
;  If not set will match the encoding of server side database
;encoding=

; connection: string: Ready-built client connection string for PQconnectStart
;  If this is not set the string is built from the following pieces
;  Take care if you set this - it will override anything that follows
 ;connection=

; host: string: PostgreSQL server to connect to
;host=localhost

; port: int: Port on which the server is listening for connections
;port=5432

; database: string: Name of the database to use in queries
;database=yate

; user: string: Username to use to access the database

Example

Example of configuration pgsqldb.conf:

[yateadmin]
host=localhost
database=yateadmin
user=postgres
password=yate_admin

This is where a new connection is made.
You can have multiple connections to different databases.
The name between [] will be used in other configuration files to set the used account.
Example: in register.conf you will have in the [default] section : account=yateadmin
